A gay BBC radio presenter spiked a man's champagne after a party and forced him to submit to a sex act, a rape trial jury heard yesterday.

Nigel Wrench, 47, who fronted the PM show on Radio 4, is said to have used the drug Temazapam on the 26-year-old.

The 27-year-old man told a jury he felt “violated” when Nigel Wrench forced him to perform a sex act hours after they met at a New Year party.

Wrench had invited him round to see an Andy Warhol painting he had, the court heard.

He also told the younger man that he had a bottle of Taittinger at home, and after they arrived showed him his Porsche parked outside, a jury heard.

But after one gulp of the drink, which tasted like “poison”, the alleged victim began to black out and feel his eyes “rolling” in his head, he said today.

He said he ended up in Wrench’s bed where he was repeatedly punched and forced to perform a sex act.

Wrench, 47, of Burgoyne Road, Haringey, north London, denies rape, sexual assault, and administering Temazepam with the intention of “stupefying or overpowering” the man to have sex.

The man, now a PA, had been interested in work experience. "He told me I could sit in on his show," he told the court.

The trial continues.
